What does it mean to be perfect before God?

Answered in 1 source

To be perfect before God means to be complete and whole, found in Christ, who fulfills the law on our behalf.

The call to be perfect before God, as stated in Genesis 17:1, requires an understanding that this perfection comes not from our actions but through Christ. The Hebrew term implies being innocent and whole, which is impossible for us as sinners. By being in Christ, who is our righteousness, we fulfill God's requirement for perfection. Thus, true perfection before God is attained by faith, acknowledging that Christ alone is sufficient for our salvation.
